## Usage Examples

### Basic Microsoft Teams Agent Setup

```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

# Create an agent with Microsoft Teams capabilities
teams_agent = Agent(
    role="Teams Coordinator",
    goal="Manage Teams communication and meetings efficiently",
    backstory="An AI assistant specialized in Microsoft Teams operations and team collaboration.",
    apps=['microsoft_teams']  # All Teams actions will be available
)

# Task to list teams and channels
explore_teams_task = Task(
    description="List all teams I'm a member of and then get the channels for the first team.",
    agent=teams_agent,
    expected_output="List of teams and channels displayed."
)

# Run the task
crew = Crew(
    agents=[teams_agent],
    tasks=[explore_teams_task]
)

crew.kickoff()
```

### Messaging and Communication

```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

# Create an agent focused on messaging
messenger = Agent(
    role="Teams Messenger",
    goal="Send and retrieve messages in Teams channels",
    backstory="An AI assistant skilled in team communication and message management.",
    apps=['microsoft_teams/send_message', 'microsoft_teams/get_messages']
)

# Task to send a message and retrieve recent messages
messaging_task = Task(
    description="Send a message 'Hello team! This is an automated update from our AI assistant.' to the General channel of team 'your_team_id', then retrieve the last 10 messages from that channel.",
    agent=messenger,
    expected_output="Message sent successfully and recent messages retrieved."
)

crew = Crew(
    agents=[messenger],
    tasks=[messaging_task]
)

crew.kickoff()
```

### Meeting Management

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Authentication Errors**
- Ensure your Microsoft account has the necessary permissions for Teams access.
- Required scopes include: `Team.ReadBasic.All`, `Channel.ReadBasic.All`, `ChannelMessage.Send`, `ChannelMessage.Read.All`, `OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite`, `OnlineMeetings.Read`.
- Verify that the OAuth connection includes all required scopes.

**Team and Channel Access**
- Ensure you are a member of the teams you're trying to access.
- Double-check team IDs and channel IDs for correctness.
- Team and channel IDs can be obtained using the `get_teams` and `get_channels` actions.

**Message Sending Issues**
- Ensure `team_id`, `channel_id`, and `message` are provided for `send_message`.
- Verify that you have permissions to send messages to the specified channel.
- Choose appropriate `content_type` (text or html) based on your message format.

**Meeting Creation**
- Ensure `subject`, `startDateTime`, and `endDateTime` are provided.
- Use proper ISO 8601 format with timezone for datetime fields (e.g., '2024-01-20T10:00:00-08:00').
- Verify that the meeting times are in the future.

**Message Retrieval Limitations**
- The `get_messages` action can retrieve a maximum of 50 messages per request.
- Messages are returned in reverse chronological order (newest first).

**Meeting Search**
- For `search_online_meetings_by_join_url`, ensure the join URL is exact and properly formatted.
- The URL should be the complete Teams meeting join URL.
